Since 1808 with the actions of Raimundo Nina Rodrigues, Legal Medicine has existed in Brazil. (Miziara, I.D, 2012, p. 66-74). Since then, we have made enormous advances in the formation and regulation of the discipline, both for medicine and for the legal side, where forensic medicine plays an important role in solving cases. However, despite having existed for some years, the discipline in colleges is not widespread and exposed to students. In the State of Goiás, of the five main medical schools, only two have the subject in their curriculum. Due to the great relevance that the discipline has both in the medical and legal environment (law), it is imperative that colleges adopt Legal Medicine in their curriculum and start to spread this knowledge that was and is very relevant to society.
